the collected edition/hardcover wishlists

[Russ840]

Spider-Man 2099 omnibus

[Shinglepants]

Ennis Punisher MAX omnibus
Avengers: The Initiative omnibus
Captain Britain & MI13 Omnibus/OHC

Aphrodite IX OHC
East of West OHC

[America / Bucky / Russia]

I created a thread on this subject on the old board, so let me just try and remember:

2001: A Space Odyssey by Jack Kirby, IF licensing works out (I doubt it will, but one can dream.)
X-Men Vignettes - The Complete Collection vols. 1 and 2, collecting the first two trades of Vignettes, and the 20 odd issues of Classic X-Men which have not been collected. Maybe with some other uncollected X-Men material, like Bizarre Adventures #28.
Web of Spider-Man vol. 1 and Luke Cage/Iron Fist vol. 1 in colour (the UK has a graphic novel which collects the first four issues of Power-Man and Iron Fist in colour, but I would love to read some more.)
The Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus by David Michelinie vol. 2
The Nomad backups from Brubaker's Captain America.
Damage Control
The Sensational She-Hulk vol. 2/Savage She-Hulk
The (sadly uncompleted) All-Winners Squad: Band of Heroes
Spider-Man: The Early Years, with Avenging Spider-Man #11, Spectacular Spider-Man #27, some of the minus issues from the 90s, Amazing Fantasy #16-18, and maybe an obligatory reprint of Amazing Fantasy #15. Could make a nice companion to Learning to Crawl.

Other uncollected stuff:
The UK has pocketbooks of Amazing Spider-Man and Uncanny X-Men which are way ahead of the Masterworks.

Ann Nocenti Daredevil Omnibus
Larsen Amazing Spider-Man

IDW - Year One artist edition.

GEOFF DARROW - just new art.

[Dr. Jay]

Outside the box--I would love some large size Tintin hardcovers and some Druuna collections similar to the Manara collections Dark Horse has done.

[Groo Odyssey]

I want The Goon omnibuses or the nice library editions that darkhorse puts out. I tweeted darkhorse about this and got a response from their editor in chief Scott allie. He said the trades are still doing well and may do an omnibus someday but nothing imminent. Goon fans unite and let your voices be heard! Scott Allie will respond on twitter.

[earl]

In general, I'd like to see the Omnibus format continue to get more popular. I'd love to have long runs of quite a few titles in them and actually be something that stays in print. I'd think one way they could sell these things in the middle of the run is play up the years the collections cover and high light what stories lie within.


Alan Moore - Swamp Thing Omnibus vol. 1 & vol. 2
Joker (Batman) - Omnibus Complete Appearances in order from 1st appearance. I'd think two big omnibus collections would get pretty much all of the Joker appearances from Batman 1 through the Bronze age. I'd think this type of format would work well with many of the popular Batman villains.
